Catena Zapata


Trying to squeeze in just one more thing, we arrived late for the 3 pm tour of Catena Zapata winery...only to find that the tour had shifted to 3:30. Such is the luck of the traveler. The Mayan temple design of this huge winery -- which makes Catena Zapata but also the popular Alamos label -- was intended to make a statement that this Argentinian bodega would make uniquely Latin American wines, not just copies of French wine. I didn't bother our guide with the small problem that the Mayan empire did not read the territory of Argentina. Minor point. It was a glorious end to the Mendoza trip.
